Listopia Action!!!

Wasn't I surprised when I woke up this morning and found that DISSIDENCE has wandered it's way onto several Goodreads Lists? It's very strange when your book starts doing things without you. It's sort of like when your baby grows into a toddler . . . WATCH OUT!

Here are the lists where Dissidence can be found. Check it out, and if you agree it belongs there, please cast your vote. Also, feel free to add Dissidence to whatever other lists you feel are appropriate. I won't mind ;)

And, while your there, why not leave a review, or add it to your TBR list?

It's a . . . BOOK!

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy book birthday to Dissidence.

Happy birthday to you.

Yup, you heard me right. Dissidence has decided to make it's appearance a little ahead of schedule. It is officially available in digital format as of . . . NOW!!! Paperback format coming soon.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

This year I have so many things to be thankful for. Last year at this time, I had a project I was falling in love with, and wish to share it with others that I wasn't sure would ever come true. Now, I have three published works, my debut novel on the way, 61 blog followers, and an author page on Facebook with 220 likes. I can't even explain what that feels like.

So, while the list could go on forever and ever, I picked my brain for the things I was most thankful for this year . . . and here they are!

What am I thankful for?
-First of all, my family (Cliche, I know, but it takes a lot of patience to put up with someone who regularly checks out of the real world for hours at a time.)
-Friends who can make you laugh so hard your stomach hurts and your eyes tear up.
-A roof over our heads and food on our table.
-A van that sounds like it should have been put out of its misery years ago, but just keeps chugging along.
-Caffeine in all of its glorious forms (the only way I make it through most days.)
-The ability to do what I love.
-Publishers, editors, and cover artists who help to make my dream a reality.
-Book bloggers who spend the one commodity they can never get back (their time) to read my work and compose thoughtful reviews to help promote it.

And, to all of you who do not celebrate Thanksgiving: Have an awesome Thursday!!! It doesn't hurt to take a moment to think about the things you're thankful for anyway. :)

Coming Soon, but why not start Sooner?!

So, now we have a cover, a blurb, ANNNNNND an official release date....

Dissidence will be released on December 1st!!!!

Yes, as in 11 days from now!!! But, if you are anything like me, 11 days can feel like an eternity when your waiting for something. Sooooo . . . because I love you all, I decided to let you get a head-start. 

You can start reading Dissidence RIGHT NOW!!! Right HERE!

Enjoy!

The Official Blurb for DISSIDENCE

Sooo . . . here's the thing. Patience? Not exactly my best virtue. I planned to wait a few days. Really build the suspense and get ya'll excited before releasing the official blurb for Dissidence. But . . . I got bored. There it is. Just like a two year old. I got bored. Conveniently, that works out well for you because it means I'm sharing with all of you sooner than expected.




In dystopian America, sixteen-year-old Kaleigh finds out quickly what having a big mouth and not enough brains to keep it shut can earn you. A one-way ticket to the work camps that no one even knows exists.

Nuclear war has ravished the nation, and a century later, the survivors are living in an entirely new world. In a society where everything is decided for you, from where you work to who you marry, dissidence is not taken lightly.

But, even inside the camps, Kaleigh's fiery spirit refuses to be extinguished. In a single moment of defiance, she manages to spark a riot that ignites into a full-blown rebellion.

With growing numbers counting on her, not just 
for their freedom, but for their very lives, two different boys vying for her heart, and trouble brewing from within the camp itself, can Kaleigh find a way to step up and become the leader everyone is counting on her to be, or will even the most carefully laid plans come crashing down around her?


Please feel free to leave HONEST comments below. I promise not to go crawl up under my blankets and cry if you don't absolutely love it as much as I do.
